ut 9 o'clock y. m. Judge Sale and Ed

man and secretary respectively, and
after the appointment oI the usual com
m,ttecs the convention adjourned until
Z o'clock In the evening.
On rc.asscnib bling the convention pro-
ceeded to business and tile first thing
done was To "sit down" on the regular
delegation from Meeker, headed by Mr.
II. J. Miner, aud admit one represented
by Mr.. L. J. Little. The committee on
credentials reported that Mr.. Miners
delegation were entitled to seats in tie
convention as the regular and duty elec-
ted delegation. but Notwithstanding this
report the convention voted tU admit
Mr.. Littlc's delegation. thus establish
ing the precedent that set OF men may
get together at any time and hold
primary without the formaiity Of even
posting up a notice or publishing the
same. This kind Of practice may work
all right in u convention but whether 1t
will meet with the approval Of the
voters remains to he seen.

was between J. q. Kendall and George

A Specimen Brick.

Among the violent and vindictive things
that was spoken and written by the brigade
of bloods-shirt malignants in the recent
fare-up about the captured flags" was
the following spicy paragraph in letter
published in the New York Tribune by one
John Fl. Rice:
tIn order to round out in full measure
and perfect proportions the grand monu-
ment being erected to Democratic consis-
tency, the President should Immediately
demand from each and every officer and
soldier who bled and fought in the Union
armies parole of honor duly executed,
never again to fight with bullet or ballot
against the solid South and the Demo-
cratic party, Or in default thereof to report
at Richmond or Andersonville as.priseners
of war.
1t now turns out that this John II. Rice
was in the rice-fields of the South during
the war, absorbed in the cause of education.
He published a geography i'll Georgia, in
which he interpolated little politics ex-
tolling "African slavery and pronouncing
the Confederate government ''the best form
of government upon earth''
Judge from this notable instance the
character and consistency of the critics and
scoundrels who Intellectually endeavored to
stir up a bloody shirt boom out of the
Captured flags. ."-Lynchburg Neps.

Ten Years of PrngreSS.

| The progress made by the United King
dom in the last ten years is very remarka-
ble.-In summing up the results of the Of
fetal statements, the Statistical Abstract
for 1885 and 1875, firstly, we find that this
decline lin the birth h-rate) has been coinci-
dent with a tide of emigration unprecedent-
ed in the records Of the United Kingdom.
| Secondly, that the low rate of marriages
and births in Ireland shows that country to
be ina lamentable condition.-Since 1870,
| Ireland has sent out $40, 900 emigrants,
mostly in the prime of life.
Thirdly, that the death rate of the three
kingdoms has fallen very notably since
1890, which may be ascr;bed either to sani-
tary improvements in towns or to the in
creased consumption of meat and other
| food.
| Fourthly, that the moral condition of the
people has improved marvelously since 1870
pauperism having decreased thirty-three per
cent, crime thirty-six per cent. Moreover,
| in the last ten years the consumption of IL
quor has declined twenty four per cent, and
the number of,school children.to population
risen from eight to twelve per cent. The
reduction iii the consumption of alcoholic
drinks is perhaps one of the most fattering
circumstances OF the day, as the Board of
| Trade returns. In 1875 the equivalent in
alcohol was 2.33, in 1885, 1.79 gallons per
inhabitant. The consumption was thirty
per cent higher in 1875, than it is at pres
ent.. In 1875, the average gallons of beer
per inhabitant was 34.2, in 1885, 26.S; of
spirits, in 1875, 1.29; 1885, 0.97. The Grim
inal records show wonderful decrease, the
annual average of cummittals in the United
Kingdom having been (1870-1979) 22.812;
average per 100000 inhabitants, SO. 1890
1885, 0.763; average, 59-about one-half
what it was from 1850 to 1859.
| Filthy, that the savings of the working
| classes have increased steadily at the rate
of 7,000,0 900 per annum, having risen eighty
two per cent since 1875.
Sixthly, that seventy per cent of the
wheat and thirty per cent of the meat con-
sumed in the United Kingdom is imported,
and that the more we import the cheaper is
| food, and so much better fed are the work.
ing classes.
| Seventhly, that British shipping has in
creased 10000, 900 tons of carrying power
in ten years, and that three seamen now
perform as much as four did in 1875.
Eighthly, that our imports and exports
show an apparent decline of trade equal to
two per cent since 1875, but that if prices
had remained the same the trade of 1885
would have represented 772, 900, 900, an in
crease of twenty-nine per cent.
Ninthly, that the change of prices has
been profitable to Great Britain, the saving
in imports being "a, 600, 600 in excess of the
loss in exports.
Tenthly, that the increased production of
coal and iron, and greater consumption of
| fibre in our textile factories, show that our
| industrial power has not dimished !; and
| lastly, that the increase of wea lth since
1875 has averaged 1sO, 600, 600 yearly.

July comes with burning sun:
School is over, work is done;
vacation, with its many Joys,
comes to all the girls and boys.
10 the fields the children HE,
Fin the long grass love to lie.
Gaze at clouds that overhead
By the south wind quickly sped.
Bring the soft and gentle showers.
Watering the fragrant flowers.
Or with the mowers in the hay,
Sport and shout in merriest way;
Watch the busy, working bees,
Near the row ofapple trees,
Humming in the summer heat,
Storing up the honey sweet,
To the benches let us 60
See the waves that to and fro
Rush upon the sandy shore,
White with foam, with thund'rous roar
Or in the salt, refreshing spray.
Wash all the stains OF play away.
In the boat We'll row afar,
Where the cool. green islands are,
And beneath the old oak trees
Laugh and sing our childish glees
Till the lengthning shadows come.
Warning us tits time for home.
There, underneath the starlit sky,
Tie hammock swings our lullaby.
All this fun, you'll not deny,
Comes to us with hot July.
